Now that the 17John competition finalists have been determined, all that's left is for the judges to decide the winners.

PSFK has partnered with real-estate crowdfunding company Prodigy Network to crowdsource the designs for their most recent project 17John, an innovative hotel in the heart of New York City’s Financial District. For more inspiration around the project visit PSFK’s microsite.

As technology continues to dramatically change the way we work, travel, network and socialize, the service industry struggles to define new models which support and anticipate the emerging needs of their customers. 17 John- an innovative hotel in the heart of New York City’s Financial District- looks to change all of that through looking to the crowd to design both its physical and virtual components and create solutions with wider democratic appeal.
